For his exemplary career dedicated to sport, the City Council awarded him a vote of praise, extended to his colleagues, family, team and all those who support him unconditionally.
Bruno Miguel da Silva Gomes is a young 18 year old from São Bras, who from a very early age began to feel a special fascination for puzzles. At just 7 years old, he was already completing 900 puzzles, followed by 1.000, then 2.000, a little later 5.000, 6.000… and at just 15 years old Bruno ventured into the biggest puzzle in the world which at that time contained 24 parts.
